Seventh-day Adventism Not Orthodox
By Editor
The Review and Herald contains a brief review of an article published in the Free Methodist, by C. E. Harroun, Jr., entitled "Seventh-day Adventism Not Orthodox." We can well imagine what the article in question is, for we once listened for two hours, with all the patience we could muster, and our full stock was required, to a sermon by this same man. The title of the sermon, which had been extensively advertised, was "Adventism against Orthodoxy, or Adventism Essentially Infidel." We mention one of his arguments as a sample: He said that Adventists didn't live up to their profession, because he knew some who labored every Saturday. He had honesty enough, however, to state a few moments afterward that those Adventists were First-day Adventists, who didn't profess to keep Sabbath. As for the rest of his sermon it was merely a statement of what he believed, and a contrast of that with the belief of Adventists. Of course he could very easily show that we didn't believe the vagaries that found ready acceptance with him, and therefore he was sure that we were infidel. The Bible was not once referred to as the standard of belief.
